Results for 'māori'
Māori - indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand
māori - clear; normal, ordinary
Maori (i). 1. a. Normal, usual, ordinary. Tirohia iho, e hine ma, ki te parera e tere atu na; ehara tena, he manu maori (That is not it, just an ordinary bird—it was a paradise duck) (M. 235). Very frequently used to distinguish objects from others having special characteristics; thus, kaipuke maori was a sailing vessel, as distinguished from a steamer; kuri maori, dog, as opposed to introduced quadrupeds: Ko te kai he kuri maori (T. 139); rakau maori, ordinary, inferior trees, not finer timber trees; tangata maori, man, human being, as opposed to a supernatural being: Ehara i te mahi tangata maori, na te atua tenei mahinga (T. 178); later, man of the Polynesian race, not a foreigner, the distinction not being confined to colour; wai maori, fresh water: Nga ika i te wai tai, i te wai maori (M. lxxvii); whetu maori, lesser, unimportant stars: Takarokaro noa ana te whetu maori o runga (M. 25).
2. Native, or belonging to New Zealand, Maori (a comparatively modern use; ‖ 3, below). Kaore i ata poto te korero mai nga tikanga tapu, nga tikanga noa, he mea kaiponu mai e nga tohunga maori (M. lxxviii).
3. n. Person of the native race, New Zealander, Maori. Ko to te Maori ritenga tawhito tenei, ana ka marenatia (Hae. 205). Me i kore he atua nui onamata, e kore e whai atua ririki nga Maori (M. lxxvii). Note—This use began about 1850. Early European writers invariably spoke of natives, or New Zealanders, one of the earliest examples of the use of the word “Maori” in English (Hae. 204) being in the translation of the passage above. It appears, therefore, as if the usage originated with the Maoris themselves.
4. ad. Freely, without restraint, without ceremony, without object, etc. Kua puta ia ki waho i te pito o te rua ra, kua ora ia, kua haere maori noa iho i te koraha (W. iv, 183).
